At La Norberta, we believe in serving our community not only with exceptional cuisine but also with trustworthy, accurate, and meaningful content. Our website, lanorberta.com, includes a variety of content such as blog articles, culinary features, behind-the-scenes updates, event announcements, food education, and more.
Because we value your trust, we have established a rigorous fact-checking process to ensure that everything we publish is reliable, informative, and aligned with the truth. Whether we’re talking about food origins, ingredient properties, sustainability efforts, or cultural practices, our goal is to deliver facts—not fluff.
This Fact-Check Policy outlines how we gather, verify, and maintain the accuracy of the information on our site. It also explains how we handle errors, reader feedback, and editorial corrections.
Our Commitment to Accuracy
Accuracy is a cornerstone of our editorial integrity. When we share a recipe’s background, describe a dish’s cultural origin, discuss seasonal ingredients, or refer to dining customs, we do so with diligence and respect for the truth. We do not take shortcuts, exaggerate, or publish assumptions as facts.
We believe that truthful storytelling strengthens our relationship with our readers. As a hospitality and culinary brand, we know that food is deeply personal and culturally significant. That’s why we treat every published word with care and accountability.
Sources We Rely On
To verify our content, we use a combination of primary, secondary, and expert sources, depending on the nature of the topic. These sources may include:
- Reputable culinary books and encyclopedias
- Academic papers or food science journals
- Official statements or regulatory websites (e.g., food safety authorities)
- Verified interviews with chefs, farmers, and food historians
- Reputable food and hospitality publications (digital and print)
- Authentic cultural documentation or community knowledge
We avoid referencing personal blogs, unverified forums, or user-generated platforms as sources for factual claims. If we do reference such platforms, they are clearly indicated as opinion-based or anecdotal.
How We Fact-Check Our Content
Before any content goes live on lanorberta.com, it goes through a verification and editorial review process. Here’s how we ensure our content is factually correct:
- Research phase: Writers gather accurate and up-to-date information from reliable sources.
- Internal verification: Editors cross-check claims, especially those involving food safety, historical facts, health-related topics, or industry practices.
- Attribution and citations: If any source is referenced, it is either cited directly or acknowledged within the text.
- Final review: Before publishing, all content undergoes a final check to ensure that the tone, data, and references are accurate and appropriate.
This process helps us maintain the editorial quality and trustworthiness that our readers expect.
Health, Safety, and Nutrition Claims
As a restaurant-focused website, we occasionally reference topics related to health, ingredients, dietary restrictions, or food allergens. While we may offer general guidance based on reputable sources, we are not medical professionals, and we do not offer personal health or nutritional advice.
We make every effort to include disclaimers wherever medical or dietary interpretations could be made, and we fact-check any ingredient-related claims with verified scientific or governmental sources.
We encourage our readers to consult registered dietitians, doctors, or certified health professionals before making any health-related decisions based on our content.
Cultural and Historical Accuracy
Food is more than flavor—it’s heritage, memory, and identity. That’s why, when we write about dishes rooted in cultural traditions or ethnic identities, we research carefully and aim to present information respectfully and accurately.
We seek to avoid stereotypes, cultural appropriation, or oversimplification of food histories. Whenever possible, we source cultural insights directly from community members, chefs from that region, or scholars familiar with the subject matter.
If you feel we’ve misrepresented a cultural reference, please reach out—we genuinely want to listen, learn, and correct the record.
Sponsored or Partnered Content
Sometimes we may feature sponsored posts, partner features, or branded collaborations. These types of content are always clearly labeled to maintain transparency. Even in these cases, all facts presented must adhere to our editorial and fact-checking guidelines.
We do not allow brands or advertisers to influence the truthfulness of our content. If a brand makes a claim (e.g., “our product is organic,” or “our packaging is biodegradable”), we require proof or independent verification before including it in our articles or promotions.
Visual Content and Captions
Photos, infographics, and illustrations are also subject to review. Captions and labels must accurately describe the image’s contents, ingredients, or cultural significance. We do not use misleading imagery, exaggerated before-and-after photos, or stock visuals that misrepresent the subject.
If images are staged (e.g., for promotional or menu photography), we make this contextually clear without deceiving the viewer.
Handling Errors and Corrections
If we discover that we’ve made a factual error—whether minor or major—we take swift and transparent action. Our correction process includes:
- Reviewing the error internally
- Editing the content with the corrected information
- Adding a note to indicate that the correction has been made, when appropriate
- Updating publication or modification dates as needed
We do not hide our mistakes. Instead, we treat corrections as opportunities to improve and reinforce our readers’ trust.
Reader Feedback and Fact Challenges
We deeply value our readers and encourage them to report any inaccuracies they encounter. If you believe something on our website is incorrect, misleading, or incomplete, you can contact us directly at bertalanor@gmail.com.
In your message, please provide:

- Any supporting sources or references you may have
Our editorial team will review the concern promptly and take appropriate action, including issuing a correction if necessary.
Transparency in Revisions
We regularly update our articles, especially when dealing with seasonal topics, event calendars, or new menu launches. Revisions that are factual corrections will be marked clearly. Regular updates for tone or structure may not be noted unless they significantly alter the content.
We believe in transparent revision practices, particularly when factual claims are involved.
Commitment to Improvement
Fact-checking is an ongoing process. As we grow, expand our team, and tackle new topics, we will continue to refine our editorial and verification standards. Our commitment to truth, clarity, and community trust remains central to everything we publish.
We are always open to partnerships with fact-checking organizations, culinary historians, or guest experts who can help us raise the bar even higher.
